On a side note...Chicago's mayor Rahm Emanuel is talking with Elon Musk about possibly building an underground hi speed rail link from downtown to OHare airport.

Billion$ of $$ the city doesn't have, to be spent on a boondoggle like this

If I do a shitty job, I get fired.
If my boss does a shitty job, he gets fired.
I got a novel idea for folks in Illinois. If your politicians do a shitty job; fire them.

"Chicago's violence is the fault of neighboring states' lax gun laws!"
"Really? So why aren't those other states' cities worse?"

Another huge benefit of President Trump vs. President Clinton.

If it was the latter you'd better believe we'd be bailing out these morons.

Tax reform which will hopefully come this year needs to include getting rid of state income tax deductions as well. What a load of B.S. If liberals want to spend like drunken whores in their states and tax the hell out of people, the rest of us shouldn't be forced to backdoor subsidize it via them getting to deduct their higher state income taxes.

Every state should enjoy/suffer the consequences of their own internal spending and taxation policies.

I'm OK with feds using my tax dollars to help individual communities in the wake of natural disasters/acts of God. But man-made political policy? NOPE.

I just opened a second location for my restaurant and my daughter is a freshman and my son 7th grade. In six years when he's about to go into college I'm outta here. I'll sell both places and ride off into the sunset...

Sell now before people start to run away. Florida needs a few more good solid people like you. And It will give us a chance to play some more golf together.
